New voices, new flash-length fantasy.
Touch Life
By Amanda Firefox
The power of touch is the power of life.
A baby shrills, breathes wet and silent at Mother’s breast.
A lover keens, cheek wet and silent at Mother’s breast.
A soul flickers, flashes from fleshy loss,
Breathes itself back into the whole
Becomes a single string
In the endless loom
Of stellar fabric.
